New Programs at Siloam Mission!

We have three new and exciting programs coming up at Siloam Mission; Summer Youth Camp, Missions Teams, and Workshops.

The Summer Youth Camp is designed specifically for youth groups to allow students aged 14 to 18 to confront their thoughts about poverty and homelessness while serving their neighbors. For youth pastors and leaders, this is a fun and educational opportunity to help students learn more about domestic poverty.

Our Missions Teams can be catered to a high school team, church group, college or university team, community group, or business group. Bring your group to Siloam Mission for a multi-day inner-city experience and learn from hands on projects and serving opportunities.

If you’re simply interested in learning more about a particular topic relating to poverty and homelessness in Winnipeg, then join us for our workshops for adults. They’ll be held on weekday evenings once a month at Siloam Mission.

For more information on these educational programs, contact me at 204.956.4344.

P.S. On Tuesday September 29, 2009 at 12 noon, we’re hosting a luncheon for pastors and youth leaders to learn more about these exciting new programs. To join us for lunch, call us to RSVP.

sj101 Day a Success

Thank you to all 31 participants who joined us at Siloam Mission on August 29, 2009 for our sj101 day. It is great to see that Winnipeggers are interested in learning more about poverty and homelessness in our city and discovering how they can make a difference.

With a variety of different sessions and activities, we had very informative day. Time was spent at Siloam Mission volunteering and touring the facility, participating in educational topical sessions, and learning about a couple other agencies in Winnipeg’s inner city.

It is our hope that each person involved has been encouraged to continue searching for optimistic solutions and feels inspired to advocate on behalf of those who experience poverty and homelessness in our city.
